Manchester United head to Stamford Bridge for a Saturday night Champions League six-pointer with Chelsea but there’s a good chance it won’t match up to the all-guns blazing shootout that was Real Madrid at Bayern in this season’s quarter final.
It has now been confirmed, at the eleventh hour, that Harry Maguire will miss the Chelsea game having had his red card ban extended for an FA charge of abusive language. It’s also unlikely that Lisandro Martinez will feature after he was sent off against Leeds, so Leny Yoro and Ayden Heaven are expected to be Michael Carrick’s centre half partnership. Add in uncertain form from United’s attackers, and there are question marks there.
Meanwhile, Chelsea are adrift after a series of poor performances and results. Fans are showing open hostility to both the owners and the manager and they have attacking problems of their own having failed to score in four of their last five games. Surely, United can take a great stride toward Europe’s top table with a win…

We have a refereeing crisis.

Idk, this team has been weird. When they have momentum and you expect them to take advantage of a big moment, they don’t show up. Then when you least expect a good result, they’ve gotten it. This Chelsea team does have talent but I think they are very beatable even without Maguire/Licha

Never mind the defence, Ugarte in midfield is the real crisis.
